Wow that's an impressive feat you took on. I don't want to come off the wrong way but I can't see this as something that would make sense financially. When you factor in the amount of time and effort and $$$ in what it took to do this it seems you would be better off just buying a MM in the 9k range. Of course if someone like yourself was looking to take on a creative project and had nothing but time on his hands it would make for a very interesting project.

Just the sheer time it would take and the frustration factor from not being able to find stuff to the tech issues at building it let alone having to find another MM as a model to base it off of seems like this may be a one time deal.

All that being said I applaud you for your effort. Can't wait to see the pics when your page is working again.

I don't think he set out to make a profit, I think he wanted the challenge.
Remember the Heathkit kits? You could often buy the already assembled item for the same (or less) money. You bought the kit so you would have something to do (this was before cable TV sucked up all your evening hours).

Wasn't saying he was trying to sell for a profit. Was just making a point that if anyone wanted a MM it would be quite a bit easier to just buy one.

But what fun would that be????

Might not be as fun but also not as stressful trying to locate NLA parts.

I suppose all those mountain climbers could take helicopters to the top as well to avoid the stress.....

I suppose you milk your cows for dairy products and have a bunch of hens out back for your eggs too huh? Dude gimme a break I told him what a great job he did just not sure it's the best idea for someone looking to pick up a MM.
